they do nothing and then vote to repeal obama care. i think they're actually in a little bit of panic about obama care. it takes effect in 2014, as you point out. for almost three years, tens of millions of americans will be getting healthcare because of that legislation. by 2016, it'll be very, very poisonous, i think, to call for repealing it. by 2020 you will probably have a republican candidate who said obama care is safe in my hand. >> karen, is it me or is immigration falling off the conversation screen here for a while? what going on? >> as the president's output there, this is immigration reform. if you listen to the republicans, it is clear what they are trying to do is give it a she death by chopping it up and lots of votes in the house and latest proposal, so anti-family and anti-american, the kids bill so to speak says kids you can stay here but we are sending your parent home. so just leaving kids, like, alone here in the united states. what kind of sense does that make? that's what we are hearing from the republicans. tho

trevor tim asked, does president barack obama think we are stupid? the fact is he's had years to initiate a debate and instead stifled it. one thing everyone can agree on, both the debate and the debate about the debate will tonight. matt, what did you make of the president's announcement on friday and his intentions here? >> i'm all for a mend it, don't end it approach. i have been in the camp that assumed this stuff is going on. i'm more troubled by google and facebook having all our information. it's voluntary. we have known what they are doing since 2005 and 2006. there's not been the same stink over it. i don't view snowden as a hero. he's a criminal, but sparked a debate that is arguably overdue. when obama comes out, the idea that he is doing this in anything other than response to the debate snowden created puts the president in a weak position and gives enormous credit to snowden. there's something in the timing of this that if obama wanted to have this debate or propose the reforms, doing it in the wake of snowden's thing is the political f

it was to kill the obama care. if you're keeping score, it's the 47th time to repeal, refund, or cripple the president's health care law, and like all others it is governed by tantrums, meaningless tantrums, roll calls, speeches. as they say in texas, it's all hat, no cattle. tea partiers led by ted cruz are making it a real threat to shut down the u.s. government if the plan is not killed. it's silly, dumb, unachievable and actually political suicide and the people saying those words are not democrats, it's the republicans in congress who are saying those things, and those criticisms are delicate compared to what's in today's "washington post." the columnist says cruz belongs to the loony bin. croat, and this is krauthammer -- this is nuts. those who fancy themselves tea party patriots fighting a sold-outcocktail-swill i sold-outcocktail-swilling establish pt are demanding yet another cliff dive as a show of principle and manliness. but there's no principle at stake here. this is about tactic. if i thought this wo

today president obama visited arizona. and just look who went to the airport to greet him, republican governor jan brewer. look, she is all smiles. gee, isn't that a big change from her last airport pickup. last year, governor brewer was waving her finger in the president's face. she was defiant. back then, she was one of the health care law's strongest critics. that was then. this is now. just listen to her sing the praises of the law just last month. >> in a few minutes, i will sign into law legislation that extends cost-effective health care to hundreds of thousands of arizona's working poor, our friends and our neighbors in need. this legislation will protect arizona's hospitals. it will create thousands of jobs, and it will save lives. >> you heard the governor. it will save lives. it will create jobs. eight other republican governors agree. they want the president's health care lawfully implemented in their states. the law is here to stay. but that hasn't stopped the far right from threatening to shut down the govern
